I think Howard might be hanging out at Stingray's house.

I think the problem lies there. If the MAME devs simply stripped all the Cruisn, Mortal Kombat ("lets switch the C for a K and be Kool - who needs playability?") and Killer Instinct games, 99% of these questions would never appear.
Ditto for anything 3D too.

Back in my day, we didn't have bootable CD Rom drives! We didn't even have CD Roms! We have 5 1/4 inch floppies and WE LIKED IT! When Bill Gates (illegedly) said '640k should be enough for anyone" we agreed. We had to configure our own IRQs and modems went all the way up to 4800 baud.
-and we had to walk uphill in snow both ways. ;)
Seriously, the minimum hardware requirements for running a modern OS these days is more than is necessary for running MAME. If you can run XP, you should be able to play Space Invaders.

Actually, THAT is part of the problems. Quite a few of those newbs with speed issues are running XP on hardware near minimum requirements.

Currently, I plan to use my speedy 300MHz AMD for my MAME cab (v 0.36). I used to play the classics from the golden era on my 486 66. Anyone remember Sparcade? That was one speedy emulator!
